Pushing Boundaries: Alice Agogino's Journey in Robotics and Innovation
In 2017, Alice Agogino commenced a new venture at the age of 64, co-founding Squishy Robotics. This innovative company specializes in developing sensor robots and drones designed to support first responders during emergencies and disasters. Drawing from her extensive research background, which includes work with NASA on robotic applications for lunar and planetary exploration, Agogino brings a wealth of expertise to Squishy Robotics.
Early partnerships with organizations like the Southern Manatee Fire and Rescue highlight the practical applications of Squishy Robotics' technology. By utilizing drones for enhanced situational awareness during large fires, first responders can better assess and respond to critical situations. Furthermore, securing a contract with the U.S. Office of Naval Research in 2023 underscores the company's growing recognition and impact in the field.
Alice Agogino's achievements extend beyond her entrepreneurial endeavors. As a distinguished member of the National Academy of Engineering and a recipient of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring in 2018, she is celebrated for her contributions to STEM education and mentorship. Through her work at Squishy Robotics and beyond, Agogino continues to push the boundaries of innovation and inspire the next generation of engineers and entrepreneurs.
